The README describes markdown-toc as a tool that uses Remarkable to parse Markdown and can be used from the command line or as an API/plugin. The project belongs to the ecosystem of README automation tools around Jon Schlinkert's packages, Verb, and Assemble-style documentation workflows. Its own README is generated with Verb using markdown-toc, making the package self-demonstrating. ### Adoption history The official repository description says the package is used by many well-known projects and thousands of other projects. The README displays npm version/download badges and documents npm installation, while supplied package facts show Homebrew and Nix packaging as well. ### How it is used The common CLI workflow is to install markdown-toc globally, add a hidden marker to a README, and run markdown-toc -i README.md to inject or update the generated TOC. Without in-place mode, the CLI can print a TOC to standard output or JSON. As an API, markdown-toc returns rendered content plus token data so build scripts can render a custom table of contents. Options cover heading depth, bullet style, slugification, filtering, indentation, and whether to include the first H1. ### Why package nerds care markdown-toc is a classic small Unixy documentation helper: it reads Markdown, emits Markdown, and is easy to wire into README generation. Package maintainers care because it has a stable CLI surface and also doubles as a library for build-time documentation automation. ### Timeline - 2013: GitHub repository created. - 2010s: README documents npm installation and CLI/API usage for README table-of-contents generation. - 2026: Supplied package facts list Homebrew and Nix packaging. ### Related projects - The README identifies Remarkable as the Markdown parser used by markdown-toc. - The README notes it was generated with Verb and can be used as a Remarkable plugin. ### Sources - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** markdown-toc - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - markdown-toc: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ma/markdown-toc/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [node](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/node/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [mark](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mark/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, documentation, markdown, productivity. - [asciidoc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/asciidoc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, documentation, productivity. - [ekphos](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ekphos/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, markdown, productivity. - [marp-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/marp-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, markdown, productivity. - [treemd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/treemd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, markdown, productivity. - [papeer](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/papeer/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, markdown, productivity, remarkable. - [backlog-md](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/backlog-md/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, markdown, productivity. - [bulletty](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bulletty/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, markdown, productivity. - [markdown-toc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/npm/markdown-toc/) - Same normalized package name appears in another local ecosystem.
